Logo Design Brief

We are a new Energy Services (mostly oil) company based in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. We need a logo designed for use in all the usual places (business cards, letterheads, website, gifts etc.).

We do civil construction works (building roads, and rig pads), waste management, environmental reports etc.

The following summarises what we 'think' we want:
* Our customers are large oil companies so we don't want anything too crazy.
* We're not sure about colours but probably not blue.
* We want the design to be reasonably simple but we're looking for something that is more than just a fancy font.
* Please think about the array part of our name and consider ways that may be represented by the logo. I know it's not easy, it's not a computer array so much as an array of things neatly fitting together.

Array:
1.
an impressive display or range of a particular type of thing.
"there is a vast array of literature on the topic"
2.
an ordered arrangement, in particular.


The name of the company is GrandArray and this as well as the words Energy Services should be included in the logo please.

Reason: Sorry, competition extended because we're terribly busy at work and haven't been able to provide prompt feedback for which I do apologise. We have however made the competition payout a certainty as I'm sure we'll get a design we love. Regards

First of all, my apologies for asking you all to check out the designs that remained after the first round of eliminations. A few of you pointed out that you can't see each others designs, I didn't realise this was the case on DesignCrowd.

Onto today's update, please consider the following along with the updated brief:
*We don't want an oil drop in the design.
*We don't want a gear or cog.
*We do want a chunky non-serif font.
*In the absence of anything obvious related to a grand array (what's one of those anyway), can we please try one of three separate options (we're not sure which will work best and it depends on your submissions):
1 - Something simple but abstract.
2 - The letters G and A formed into a pleasing logo.
3 - Something non-abstract relating to Kurdistan (minaret, mountains, sunshine, partridge, other kurdish animal etc.).

I hope this gives a few different paths slightly more specific than before for some further submissions. We have a few designs that we like more than the others but the competition is still wide open so please submit as many different designs as you can and we really want to be able to award a winner before the 12th.
